O2 Germany announces Toshiba TG01 Windows phone exclusive

Toshiba TG01

O2 Germany has announced that it will be the exclusive carrier for the Toshiba TG01 when it comes out later this year. If I understand the Google translation of the article correctly, the exclusive is limited to Germany, suggesting that other countries could see the TG01 around the same time.

The Toshiba TG01 will be powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with the Toshiba Touch user interface. Hopefully Toshiba and O2 will bump the OS to Windows Mobile 6.5 before release. It will come with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, a large 4.1-inch WVGA touchscreen display, 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM, GPS/A-GPS, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, a microSDHC expansion slot, a 3.2MP camera, and a 1000mAh battery.

The Toshiba TG01 will measure 70 by 129 by 9.9 millimeters (that’s thinner than the iPhone) and weigh 129 grams. It will be offered in white.

O2 will begin to offer the Toshiba TG01 later this summer. Pricing will be announced at that point.
